A “masterful” painting by Scottish colourist Samuel John Peploe which once hung in his patron’s drawing room is to be auctioned for the first time.
Roses In A Green Jug will go under the hammer in the Scottish art sale at Bonhams, Edinburgh, next month, with an estimate of £250,000-£350,000.
Paintings by fellow Scottish colourist Francis Campbell Boileau Cadell and by the late Jack Vettriano will also feature in the sale on May 21.
Peploe once characterised his career as a search for the perfect still life, and was influenced by his time in Paris from 1910-12 where he studied the work of Post-Impressionist masters.
